Dave and Killy. What a cute couple.

View from the Wallace Stegner bench. Looking out over the Santa Cruz Mountains towards the Pacific.

On my way across Highway 17, I stopped briefly at Lexington Reservoir, which is part of Lexington Reservoir County Park. It was hard to find an easy-on, easy-off freeway access, and while I was puzzling it out on this quiet country road, all of a sudden cars began streaming past me, one after another, and then all lined up in a row and stopped on the road ahead. I pulled over to try to puzzle THAT out. I finally figured out that they were all the same type of car, out for--well--an outing, and they were waiting for the others to catch up. But by that time it was too late to snap a close-up of one of the cars.

(I took more photos on my film camera; will post eventually.)
